At this point it not about passive collection, corporations are going to extreme ends to get our data.

I am interested in what people are doing to enforce their privacy while using the web.

I have some things in place, looking to compare with the community.

(btw, I am new here, this is my first post. So uh… Hi )

    I think if you are using any meta app on your phone yes. I would assume yes, if they put in the time to figure out the security bypasses then I cant see why they would limit it to one app. I removed all meta apps from my phone.

    using? having! better uninstall them all, confine them into firefox if you still need them.

    don't forget to get rid of the 3 iconless meta apps either that are installed to lots of phones from the factory:

    • Meta App Installer
    • Meta App Manager
    • Meta Services

    you can only see these in the settings, installed apps list, after finding the hidden option to also show system apps.
    App Manager or similar tools will also show them.
